Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson will wear white wrist ribbons along with the rest of the cast, in memory of Robert Knox who was stabbed to death last May. The tragic teenager, who played Marcus Belby in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was killed just weeks after filming was wrapped.
